Hi all, I am deserializing a big json structure and one of the child object is throwing a JsonDecodingException, thus the serialization process is not returning anything. Is it possible to configure kotlin serialization to continue the serialization process even if one of the child objects is erroneous?

Not really, if the JSON invalid then how can it proceed?

What makes the child object erroneous? Like is it a missing field, invalid JSON, etc.

[sendoav]

In this case I was expecting a non nullable field and was receiving null. I thought there could be something that could set the child object null and continue with the deserialization.

[Dominaezzz]

Ah, valid json. That's fixable then.

You'll have to write a small custom serializer for the child object.
